III. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
IV. STUDY SESSION 1. Goal-Setting Session: CAC Priorities and Goals for 2018-2019 – At
their annual retreat, Chair Greer requested that the City Arts Commission each contribute a list of goals for Fiscal Year 2018/19. Chair Greer requested that staff
review the submitted goals and summarize them.
Chair Greer stated the members of the City Arts Commission share equally in providing
input for the priorities and goals for 2018/19 and look forward to community input as well.
Commissioners greatly appreciate and value the volunteer and financial support of the Newport Beach Arts Foundation and look forward to their input. The City Arts Commission
has wonderful staff who support the administration and execution of programs and meetings. The City Arts Commission greatly values staff's time and investment in helping the City Arts Commission achieve its goals.
Library Services Director Hetherton reported Chair Greer and staff categorized Commissioners' suggestions for goals under broad themes. Perhaps the City Arts
Commission could identify goals in the current meeting and objectives in a subsequent meeting or staff could propose objectives. Proposed goals are feasible within the limits of the budget, City policy, and staff resources.
Chair Greer reported in fiscal year 2017/18 the City Arts Commission curated and
celebrated the opening of the Sculpture Garden Phase III and supported the lighting of

Burnt Matchstick. The photo contest for the Sculpture Garden received 200 entries, and
three winners were selected. The Newport Beach Art Exhibition netted 139 artists and provided 240 works of art. A reception honored artists, and awards were announced in the Council Chambers to a standing-room-only audience. Two thousand residents and
guests attended the Newport Beach Art Exhibition, toured the Sculpture Garden, and visited the Behind the Brushstrokes exhibition at Central Library. On June 17, 4,200 attendees celebrated Father's Day with a Concert on the Green featuring a Sinatra tribute
by Matt Mauser and the Tijuana Dogs. Subsequent Concerts on the Green featured The Best of the Boss, the Tijuana Dogs, and Desperado, and were enjoyed by more than 4,100
and 4,500 guests. A concert by Southland Sings: Best of Broadway will be held in
Peninsula Park on September 23. Generally, attendees arrive with their families and picnics and enjoy City Arts Commission programs. Commissioner Divine has provided
Sculpture Garden lectures that increased awareness of the Sculpture Garden. The
Central Library exhibition of Diana Blaisure's work has closed, and Iriet Peshkess' work, At the Beach, is currently on display. Ms. Peshkess' work has won awards at the Newport
Beach Art Exhibition.
With respect to goals for the Newport Beach Arts Foundation and the Sculpture Garden,
Commissioners and Newport Beach Arts Foundation President Virginia Hayter discussed the difficulty of fundraising, increasing contact with residents, planning a public campaign for fundraising, unique opportunities and events to increase awareness of the Newport
Beach Arts Foundation and the Sculpture Garden, popularity of the Library and Library programming, the Arts Foundation hosting an event at Marina Park, the need for a media plan, methods to reduce Sculpture Garden expenses for honoraria, project management,
and installation, exploring grants, developing a fundraising proposal, outline, plan, and timeline, and use of naming opportunities and brick-and-mortar donor walls.
Commissioner Baker arrived at 5:13 p.m.
Chair Greer, Commissioner Glabman, and Commissioner Little volunteered for an ad hoc
subcommittee that will develop a program to assist the Arts Foundation with fundraising for the Sculpture Garden.
Library Services Director Hetherton noted a donor wall will require funding and should be included in a fundraising budget.
With respect to goals for outreach, Commissioners concurred with the proposed goals.
With respect to goals to focus on youth, the City Arts Commission discussed initiating an annual event to be held on school campuses, an annual art exhibition for youth or a category for youth at the Newport Beach Art Exhibition, a youth chair on the City Arts
Commission, and an event during literacy week.
With respect to goals for Concerts on the Green, Commissioners discussed obtaining
sponsors for concerts, a beer and wine tent, and offering booths during concerts.
Chair Greer requested the Performing Arts for Concerts on the Green Ad Hoc
Subcommittee develop the idea of booths.

With respect to goals for Finance, Chair Greer advised that the City Arts Commission
should determine the effectiveness of programs offered by Cultural Arts Grant recipients prior to deciding the amount of Cultural Arts Grant funds granted to the City Arts Commission.
V. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jim Mosher related Council Member Peotter's wish to eliminate funding for the City Arts Commission. A donation directly to a city is tax deductible. Perhaps, the City Arts
Commission could consider temporary naming opportunities for donors. A museum tour
would be an easy goal to reinstate. He opposed the addition of beer and wine tents to events.
Library Services Director Hetherton added that a beer and wine tent increases costs.

4. Financial Report – Review of financial information
Library Services Manager Basmaciyan reported payments to Southland Sings and Triskelion have been deducted from the programming budget, which leaves a balance of approximately $30,000. The balance of professional services is slightly less than $2,000.
In response to questions, Chair Greer advised that the City's fiscal year begins July 1.
Alan Scott installs the exhibitions in Central Gallery. The Alliant Insurance payment
pertains to the Southland Sings concert. A portion of the amount will probably be billed to the financials for the $14,500 that has been given to the City Arts Commission.
Motion made by Commissioner Glabman, seconded by Commissioner Baker, and carried (6-0-0-1) to approve the financial information as of August 31, 2018.

The City Arts Commission heard Item 7 prior to Item 6.
A. Items for Review and Possible Action 6. Update on Sculpture in Civic Center Park Exhibition, Phase IV – Staff
will update the City Arts Commission on Phase IV of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park.
Library Services Manager Basmaciyan reported as part of the City Council's approval of Sculpture Garden Phase III on April 11, 2017, the City Council directed funding for Phase
IV be obtained from private sources, the project management fees for Phase IV be
Newport Beach City Arts Commission Regular Meeting Minutes September 13, 2018

reduced by 50 percent, City staff to handle installation for Phase IV. Project management
and curation fees total $37,500; therefore, the amount allocated for a project manager would be $18,750.
Library Services Director Hetherton suggested the Sculpture Garden subcommittee members meet with Council Members and share compelling arguments for continuing past practices for Phase IV of the Sculpture Garden.
In response to questions, Library Services Director Hetherton explained the services
provided by a project manager and an installation subcontractor. The number of vendors
willing to act as project manager is limited. Several vendors have submitted bids for project management; however, they were not qualified. He has spoken with Rick Stein of
Arts Orange County, and Mr. Stein believes his quote for project management is
reasonable and accurate. Mr. Stein is aware of the Council's direction to reduce the fee. The project manager receives and reviews all submissions to the call for artists. Should
the City staff install sculptures, the costs of installation will still be charged to the City Arts
Commission. Staff does not have the experience of Arts Orange County with respect to installing artwork. Library Services Director Hetherton explained the process for issuing
Requests for Proposals and potential actions if less than three bids are received. The City Arts Commission can modify the time period for display of each phase of the Sculpture Garden. Reducing the number of pieces would reduce costs. If the City Arts Commission
chooses to extend the timeframe for displaying pieces and the artists agree, the amount of the honoraria may need to increase.
Commissioners felt the $18,750 amount is unreasonable given the amount of time and work Arts Orange County dedicated to Phase III.
Chair Greer suggested the subcommittee discuss the services stated in the project management contract and determine whether any can be removed. Arts Orange County
has a great relationship with the California Arts Alliance, which benefits the City Arts
Commission. Outsourcing work is less expensive than utilizing Library staff because staff would probably have to work overtime to complete the work.
Library Services Director Hetherton and Chair Greer related information regarding Item 7 to Commissioner Baker.
7. Maintenance Requirements for Sculpture in the City Art Inventory –
Staff recommends contracting a vendor to clean and wax the bronze pieces
in the City art inventory: Ronald Reagan, Sunset Years, and Marine 1/1 Memorial. Staff recommends restoring the piece, Metaphor.
Commissioner Baker recused herself from the item and left the room.
Library Services Director Hetherton recalled the City Arts Commission's direction to staff
to review all public art, particularly sculpture displayed outdoors, for its condition and to make a recommendation. The majority of the City's artwork is in good shape. Metalphor's
paint has faded, and the metal has rusted. Display Incorporated quoted $10,000 to fix the
surface damage and repaint the sculpture. Over the last few years, the City Manager has recommended the City Council allocate more funding for maintenance of the City's
artwork. RayLynn Price, the artist's wife, informed him that the artist has the right to work
Newport Beach City Arts Commission Regular Meeting Minutes September 13, 2018

with restorers with regard to materials and colors. The artist should be allowed to work
with the restorers. California State law contains provisions regarding maintenance of art. Library Services Director Hetherton strongly recommended the City Arts Commission approve staff obtaining quotes to restore Metalphor.
Bret Price shared the history of Metalphor and his repair of it in the 1990s. At his studio, he has the equipment to restore the sculpture to his standards. He suggested the City
Arts Commission allow him to repair the sculpture and essentially make it better than new. He could probably complete the restoration in a month.
RayLynn Price provided information about the studio in Santa Ana.
Library Services Director Hetherton advised that he could talk to Mr. Price about restoring
the sculpture and the services Mr. Price can provide. Commissioners were interested in obtaining information from Mr. Price.
Motion made by Chair Greer, seconded by Commissioner Bendetti, and carried (4-0-1-2) to approve the staff recommendation of contracting a vendor to clean and wax the bronze
pieces in the City art inventory: Ronald Reagan, Sunset Years, and Marine 1/1 Memorial and restoring the piece, Metalphor, subject to Library Services Director Hetherton obtaining a bid.

The last Concert on the Green was held Sunday, September 9, 2018. Approximately 4,500 people
attended the concert.
Concert in Peninsula Park: Southland Sings: Broadway Hits
The fisr Performing Arts on the Balboa Peninsula featured Southland Sings: Broadway hits Sunday,

favorites, and a Disney medley. Approximately 300 people attended the concert.
Art at the Library
At the Beach by Iriet Peshkess features mixed media paintings and digital photography which capture
the essence of life along the shores of Newport Beach.
Iriet Peshkess was born in Israel and she has lived in Orange County with her family since 1981. She is a
California-inspired representational artist and a storyteller in paint and photography. Before embarking
on her career as an artist over 15 years ago, Peshkess was a psychologist. People’s stories have always
moved her, and she strives to capture mood and story rather than detail. Her stories describe daily life
in the California sun.
Iriet Peshkess works in mixed media — digital, acrylic and fiber, and photography — moving back and
forth between them. Her creative process always goes through the digital medium. At what stage and to
what extend varies in each painting.
The exhibition will be on display during library operating hours, September 10 through November 2,
2018.

ATTACHMENT A
CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
1. Purpose: To continue to promote cultural activities and musical appreciation on Balboa Island by
presenting live, classical musical concerts throughout the year. These concerts will be held at St.
John Vianney Chapel at 314 Marine, Balboa Island. These presentations provide citizens with the
low cost, quality performances. In addition the BIIA offers free Summer Concerts at Balboa Park,
across from Beek Center on Agate. Both venues provide an outreach to all citizens residing within
Newport Beach, as well as for visitors to the area.
2, Mission: The mission of the Balboa Island Improvement Association (BnA) arts campaign is to
promote a sense of community while enhancing the island's beauty, safety, livability and
preserving its unique culture.
3. Goals: BIIA's goals for 2018-2019 is to continue to showcase the cultural tradition of the
community by producing world-class musical performances performed by regional, classical
musicians, as well as, offering free summer concerts. The summertime venue continues to offer
popular, contemporary entertainment in the community setting of Balboa Park, located on Agate,
adjacent to Beek Center. Since the BIIA is a non-profit organization, the goal is not fundraising,
but to produce high quality performances and a variety of musical entertainment for the residents
of Balboa Island, Newport Beach and visitors alike.
2.
A. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program.
The Organization provides high quality, professional concerts that are affordable and/or free, thus
providing a live, musical experience for the general public and for some who mav otherwise not have this
opportunity. The local location only enhances the opportunity for family attendance and for the elderly.
B. Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed
project/program.
This is the fourth year of outstanding performances. In addition, the positive, immediate verbal feed-back
from attendees indicate the appreciation and need for this local progratn and project to continue. Also we
continue to have the support of the local merchants who help sponsor these programs by allowing
promotional materials in their stores and provide a means of ticket sales. The fact that the project is all
volunteer, emphasizes the sense of community involvement.
2
3. Describe the project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant.
Moving forward, we would like to continue to provide another series of concerts and continue to promote
and enhance community togetherness and appreciation of the arts.
The below table is from the 2017-2018 perfornnances: please note due to St. John Vianney's Chapel
being retrofitted for earthquake construction in the first part of 2018, the number of performances was
limited. The Chapel maximum is 172. The park attendance is an estimate as concert is free.

Concerts for the 2019/2020 season are to be determined. It is anticipated that a minimum of (4) Classical
and (4) Summer concerts will be programmed.
These concerts are NOT fundraising events. They are purely to promote the music, arts and culture within
Newport Beach. The classical concert ticket price is generally $10 per person. The summer concerts are
free. All ticket monies go to compensate the musicians and to offset the project/program costs for piano
rental and promotional materials. To offset these costs we are requesting an increase of grant fiinds to
$2,000. Although we are appreciative of the previous $1,000 grmit, the project clearly requires additional
underwriting to continue the program including piano moving / marketing material expenses.
Is this a new,, or existing X project/program?
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/progratn. Include such tgs as age, location, numbers served, etc.
We will continue to serve ALL members of our community, young and young at heart living on Balboa
Island, Newport Beach and the surrounding communities. Although the concerts are often attended by
repeataudiences, weknowthatasignificantnumberarenewtoeachperformance,therebyincreasingthe
outreach to close to 1,000 people.
5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project.
Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a
marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6, Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the
results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
The Classical Concerts and Free Summer Concerts bring the community together. The success of this is
measured by the repeat patronage. The continued support of the Monsignor and St. John Vianney's
Chapel is testimony to the acceptance of these events within the religious as well as non-religious
community.
In addition, we have received local merchant feedback as to the increase in business on Balboa Island, for
dining and shopping. The concerts are providing an economic benefit not only to the merchants but to the
city of Newport Beach, which is another quantifiable outcome.

CULTURAL ARTS GRANT PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT
NARRATIVE SECTION:
1. Please describe the effectiveness of your organization's grant project(s) in terms of:
a. The Size and Composition of the target group
Approximately 3,000 Newport Beach residents of all ages have enjoyed the opportunity to hear live,
professional, Classical, and Folk music since the 8a/bog Iskxnd Cgassical Concert series began in 2015.
These affordable performances, as well as the free Summer Concerts in the Park Series afforded the
Newport community with a rare collaboration of musical appreciation, be it Classical or Blues in order
to bring the community together. In addition, the emphasis provided an overall appreciation to the
musical arts and continues to serve all ages, including families and citizens of Newport Beach and
cities within Orange County and beyond.
b. Conformity to the planned time framework:
To date, we have competed our Spring/Summer Concerts and the goals and objectives have been met
successfully. The Concert Series season will continue to run throughout the year (October to October)
combining classical concerts in the winter, spring & fall with summertime concerts. The Summer
Series concentrates on a Community Park setting with popular Country, Blues, and surf-style music, all
of which was offered free to the public.
c. Theme of the Project
The Balboa Island Concert Series provided an appreciation of quality, classical, live musical
performances along with community outreach to the residents of Newport Beach. In addition, the
free summertime performances created a neighborhood ambiance unique to Balboa Island and
surrounding areas.
d. Allocation of funds to date
The award has been allocated to professional services (e.g., musicians) and all the funds have been
spent to date.
e. The Kinds of educational services provided by this project
Residents of all ages living in and around Newport Beach and surrounding communities were exposed
to live music and gained appreciation for a variety of musical styles, instrumentation and production.
f. The composition of the professional staff rendering these services.
The Concert Series was and continues to be entirely operated by volunteers whose only wish is to
continue supporting this project within the community
2. Please describe how the program was evaluated. Include information on measures
your organization has initiated to improve the project in the future.
The project was evaluated and deemed successful in that the concerts were sold out/fully attended
events. These sold out events occurred by way of word of mouth, which continues to provide us with
encouragement / motivation to schedule on-going concerts throughout the next year (2019).

The continuation and success of the Balboa Island Concert Series is due to the encouragement and
positive response of the community since its inception in 2015.

CULffl ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
The mission of the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar is to present, for the local community,
quality Baroque music performances at affordable prices in an intimate environment
The Baroque Music Festival (BMF) organization has presented a Festival in June every year since 1981,
with performances held at the Sherman Gardens as well as in churches or other local venues.
It is the goal of the BMF Board to continue the 38-year tradition established by Burton Karson-
described above and continued by Elizabeth Blumenstock since 2011 -to sustain and, whenever possible,
enhance the Festival each season. This year we will present a Festival entitled "J.S. Bach: The Master
and His Models," highlighted by one of Johann Sebastian Bach's most poignant vocal works, Magnificat,
and several other musical masterpieces by this great composer. In addition, our progrg will
explore influences on his work by his musical predecessors as well as the impact that Bach had on those
who followed him. Our June 2015 Bach-Fest was our most successful season to date, delighting
audiences and reviewers alike. In our second Bach-Fest, for 2019, we seek to repeat this success by
presenting an entirely new series of concerts and musical themes that fiirther reveal the significance of
this extraordinary figure of the Baroque era.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings
(i.e. "Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at
Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instnments." ) Describe how you have
determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed pro3ectjprogram.
Our track record is excellent. and we wish to sustain and build upon it. As the only classical music
organization headquartered inNewport Beach and dedicated to performances in Corona del Mar and
Newport Beach, the Baroque Music Festival takes seriously the responsibility to provide concerts that are
artistically outstanding as well as accessible-both geographically and financially-to our core local
audience. Every year, swvey forms are given to all concert attendees, requesting feedback and opinions.
For the 2018 Festival, responses were overwhelmingly positive and supportive, iito4uiz,iug apacifically
the opporhinity to experience the talent of nationally-renowned performers and the appeal of
Baroque musical performances in intimate as well as acoustically appropriate local venues.
Our Festival is consistently a popular seasonal event, often resulting in sold-out concerts. Our audiences
are comprised parily of residents from the immediate Newport Beach area and nearby local
communities. In the 2018 Festival, four out of five concerts reached near capacity. Total attendance
(approx. 950) was similar to last year, including 30% experiencing an event for the first time. This
substantial contingent of "first-titners" emphasizes the importance of our outreach efforts each season to
potential new attendees, as even long-time Newport Beach residents continue to discover the Festival.
Our normal ticket prices are comparable to those of other Baroque music organizations in California.
However, to address affordability for music students we have offered a subsidized program, from 2015
through20l8,ca}}edStudentsGoForBaroque! ThisprogramiscurrentlyundettenbyaBoard
member to offer discounted ($5) tickets to students at high-school, college, and university levels. We
plan to continue to support this program in 2019, through underwriting or grants.
-3-
3. Describe the project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed
project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project tirneline, with planned dates and
locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their
roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel
to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds only projects arid programs - not operating
expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and mareness of the arts in
Newport Beach.
Is this a new X or existing project/program?
Our 2019 season will be a Bach-Fest, focused pily on the music of L.S. Bach. The Festival will open
on Sunday June 23, 2019, with "Back to Bach Concertos," a program featuring Bach's Double Violin
Concerto in D-Minor, Jean-Marie Leclair's Violin Concerto in A-Ma7or, the Bach Orchestral Suite No. 2
in B-Minor feag the distinctive wooden Baroque flute, and Bach's popular Brandenburg Concerto
No. 5, marking the work's 300' anniversary.
The Monday evetiing concert on June 24, 2019, at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church will be a
solo guitar recital, entitled "Glories of the Baroque Guitar." The program will include works originally
arranged by Bach for lute, together with Latin American pieces-written during the same period-that
will give us a glimpse of a future Festival theme centered on Spanish/Mexican Baroque music.
Wednesday's performance in Sherman Gardens on June 26, 2019, directly explores the theme of "The
MasterandHisModels"byincludingthecomposerswhoinfluencedBach: DieterichBuxtehude(1637-
1707),NicolausBs(1665-1697)andHeinrichSchtitz(1585-1672). FeaturedperformerswillbeKyle
Stegall, tenor; Stephen Hammer, oboe; Elizabeth Blumenstock and Jolianne von Einem, violins; Rob
Diggins, viola; Tanya Tomkins, violoncello; and Ian Pritchard, hatpsichord and organ.
Friday's program, June 28, 2019, in Sherman Gardens, "Father, Son and Godfather," will showcase
Festival favorite musicians on flute, oboe, violin, cello, and harpsichord in a program of chamber works,
quintets, quartets, trios and solos, by J.S. Bach (father), Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (son), Georg
PhilippTelemann, (godfather), Johann Friedrich Fasch, and Johan Gottlieb Janitsch.
The Finale Sunday program June 30, 2019, at St. Mark Presbyterian Church will feature the beloved
Magnificat, .r-s. Bach's musical setting of Luke 1:46-55 in Latin, revealing Mary's words when she meets
her cousin Elizabeth, who is also pregnant. Bach's score for the Magnificat requires two sopranos, an
alto, tenor and bass as well as tpets and tympani, in addition to a full sttang orchestra. The program
will also include Bach's Orchestral Suite No.3 in D-Major and two Bach motets. The NBAC grant will
be used to hring national5- recognized soloists to Newport Beach for the performance of the
MagtQcat. These funds will also be directed toward subsidization of the reduced cost ($5, instead
of $40) of student tickets for this concert.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
The Festival appeals to all who love classical music. While audience members skew to the 55-65+ age-
range, there is also a healthy representation of other groups, including those who are parishioners of
churches where our performances are held as well as local students of music. Nearly 30% of our mailing
list of 1,800-plus households (based on past attendance and donations) reside in the 92625, 92657, 92658,
92659, 92660, 92661, 92662 and 92663 zip codes. Likewise, approximately 30% of ticket-purchasers at
our 2018 Festival were residents within these zip code areas.

hours of musical instruction and instents to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instnuctors.)
We will provide five professional-quality concerts from June 23 tmough June 30, 2019, with two at the
Sherman Library and Gardens, two at St. Mark Presbyterian Church and one at St. Michael and All
Angels Episcopal Church, each of approximately two hours in duration. The concerts will feature a
Baroque-era music selected by Artistic Director Elizabeth Blutnenstock and performed by period music
specialists, orchema, and vocalists. Each performance will be preceded by free outdoor brass quintet
music to welcome audience members, and all concerts will be followed with a reception to allow
attendees to discuss the performance and meet the musicians.
Our objective of meeting the goal of presenting high-quality performances will be aided significantly by a
grant from the Newport Beach City Arts Cornrnission. The results of our annual audience survey and
attendance statistics will allow us to evaluate our success in accomplishing our goal. We are aiming to
meet or exceed our best-ever audience numbers from 2015, by presenting a brand-new Bach-themed
Festival in 2019.

ATTACHMENT C
CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
Tl'ie mission of the Cliuck Jones Center for Creativity (the Center) is to inspire creativity based on the
riniqrie philosophies of creative genius and legendary animator, Chuck Jones - who brought iconic
characters like Brigs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote to life. The Center is a gymnasium for the brain that
fosters creative thinking - tl'ie thinking behind problem solving - by encouraging people to exercise
their own unique creative genius through experiencing visual arts across diverse disciplines. Our
distinctive goal is not to merely teach the mechanics of art, but to teach creative thinking applicable
to all aspects of life for people from their early childhood to their golden years. There is a growing
body of evidence showing that creativity is essential for a fulfilling life and a more creative
community witli the skills to solve the most complex problems of our time. Providing interactive
creativity experiences is the singular prirpose of the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your
proposed project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you
based your findings (i.e. GGBased on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children
in the 4th-6th grades at Newport Elementaray who have had no training with musical
instruments.") Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best
organization for the proposed project/program.
Seniors are experiencing a preventable level of cognitive function deterioration. Being creative
causes the brain to reshape, adapt and restructure - improving cognitive function and serving as a
strong defense against Alzl'ieimer's disease and other dementia-related conditions. Our 'Food for
Tliought: Creativity Works1iops wit1i Brain Health in Mind" program meets this need for adrilts
over 45 years of age in the Newpoit Beach coriununity.
The last United States Census (2010) reported that over 16,000 people in Newport Beach were 65
years of age or older. At that time, another 25,000 people where aged between 45 and 64. The Mayo
Clinic (www.mayoclinic.org) indicates that most people with early onset dementia develop
symptoms of tlie disease in tlieir 40's or 50's. The population of California has increased
approximately 5% between 2010 and 2016. Therefore, the total number of individuals that would
benefit from a program on healtl"iy brain aging in Newport Beach would be estimated at 43,000
people.
"hen you activate an area of the brain, it works like a muscle. It gets bigger and functions more
efficiently. MRI studies have revealed that creative activity activates more brain areas than just
about any other kind of activity." (Dr. William R. Shankle, Director of the Memory arid Cognitive
Disorders Program at Hoag Neurosciences Institute in the LA Times, September 2014)
Dr. Shankle is a widely-recognized expeit in the field of brain aging, receiving many research grants
and awards; lie is a pioneer in using creativity to delay the effects of early onset dementia. The
Center was selected by Dr. Shankle and the Hoag Hospital Center for Neurosciences, Orange County
Vital Brain Aging Program (OCVBA) to develop and conduct a series of programs that served an
estimated 500 people at 15 events. Based on the results, OCVBA expanded the progra'i'n in 2017.
Through this collaboration, the Center is uniquely qualified to provide this program to the senior
community in Newpoit Beach. In addition, the Center has the ability (subject to the trademark and
copyright provisions of Waianer Bros. Entertainment, Inc.) to rise these beloved characters for orir
programs as a key tool for enhancing reminiscence therapy in this age demographic.
2
During a recent "Food for Thought" program, the Center assessed the divergent thinking processes of a
small sampling of participants, whose average age was 67, using the Guildford scale for measurement.
At the begiru'iing of the program, we gave the participants a page of circles, asking them to draw objects
using those circles for two minutes. We repeated this exercise at the end of the program and are pleased
to share the results throughout all four categories. Fluency, based on the number of responses, increased
by almost half while Flexibility (how many of the total responses are unique) increased over 100%.
Originality increased by over seven ti'ines and Elaboration, based on how rich the detail was, showed
40% improvement.
3, Describe the project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the
proposed project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with
planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and
performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and
qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember:
the City funds only projects arid programs- not operating expenses. These projects and programs
must promote commtmi@ itivolvement arid awareness of t1ie arts iri Newport Beach.
Is this a new or existing project/program?
This request for $8,000 will fund 'Foodfor Thought: Creativity Workshops with Brain Health in
Mind". Tl'ie program goal is to provide exceptional cognitive exercise (including reminiscence
therapy) for the four different brain :functions (memory, executive function, visual fiinction and
language) and at the three levels of impaiiment from mild to severe. Much more than a fun outing,
each 90-minute session is based on a detailed lesson with specific objectives for each activity. A
teacliing artist to paiticipant ratio of 1 :8 has proven to be ideal. A total of 40 weelcly sessions (as a
single event or a series) will be provided by September 28, 2019. Events to be scheduled at senior
centers (such as Oasis), other community venues (such as public libraries) in Newport Beach or at our
location in Costa Mesa. Actual dates and locations are typically finalized for each quarter
approximately three months in advance and are always scheduled to conclude by 3 :OO pm to
accommodate individuals/caregivers that only drive during the day and to eliminate any issues that
might arise from sundowner's syndrome.
Chuck Jones, a Newport Beach resident for over 35 years, founded The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity
- an Orange Corinty based 501(c)3 public charity - in 1999. Linda Jones, Chuck's only child, has been an
integral part of the Center from tlie very beginning. Marian Jones, Chuck's widow, played a key role in
the evolution of the Center from its fledgling stage and continues to reside in the community. Upon the
passing of Chuck Jones in 2002, leadership for the Center was taken up by Craig Kausen - Chuck's
grandson - founder and current Chairman/Acting Executive Director (volunteer).
Denise Diori-Scoyni, Lead TeachingArtist/Program Developer (part-time staff): Denise has over 20 years
of experience as an arts educator; she manages our teaching artists and will oversee the program.
Robert Patrick, Marketing Director (part-time stajff): With 3 7 years of marketing experience in the visual
arts, Patrick will be responsible for tlie marketing plan for this program.
Cyndi Eurgess, Prograin Manager (part time-stafjf): responsible for all administrative aspects.
TeacliingArtists (independent contractors).' All our teaching artists have degrees relating to the aits
and/or education. They are required to pass Live Scan background checks. These teaching artists will be
3
facilitating the Food for Thought Program and are trained to address specific issues relating to dementia.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve
byyour project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
Our target segment is the estimated 43,000 people over the age of 45 residing in Newpo'it Beach. The ideal
class size is 16 people (not including a few caregivers) for each of the 40 sessions. Therefore, we plan to serve
up to 640 participants.
5. Complete the project budget form. Address orily the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each
project. Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of
personnel or a marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate
the results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your
project/program met the needs that you identified and accomp}ishes the goals you set out to
achieve (i.e. you provide 50 hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at
Newport Elementary school as measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
A Mayo Clinic study (May 2015) found that "paiticipants who engaged in aitistic activities (painting,
drawing, sculpting) were 73% less likely to have memory and/or thinking problems." A New York Times
blog article (March 2016) states, "the aits in their myriad forn'is are enhancing the lives and liealtli of
older people - and not just those witli dementia - helping to keep many men and women out of nursing
homes and living independently." In the same aiticle, Dr. Gene D. Cohen, a gerontologist at George
Wasliington University and director of the Creativity and Aging Study sponsored by the National
Endowment for the Aits, "After only a year, the healtli of elders in the cultural groups stabilized or
4
improved in contrast to a decline among those in the control groups."
At tlie beginning of each worlcshop, there will be a warm up activity designed specifically for each of the
three cognitive impairi'nent levels. Each participant will also fill out an intake form. These tools allow us
to know our participants and evaluate impact for any programs provided in a series. Each teaching aitist
recaps each session with any observations on the positive changes in participant behavior and
comments/feedback for program improvement. We use Salesforce.com (at no-charge to the Center
through their nonprofit program) to track paiticipants and contact infon'nation.

Grant Project(s) Funded Food for Thouzht - Adult Brain Health Creativity Workshops
Effective Dates of Grant January 2018
Period covered in this Report June 7, 2018-September 5, 2018
1.Please describe the effectiveness of your organization's grant project(s), in terms of:
The size and composition of the target group reached
49 adults (23 at Oasis Senior Center and 16 at Hoag Center for Healthy Livingl either in early stages of memory loss and
their caregivers, along with those who were wanting to be proactive regarding brain health.
Conformity to the planned time framework
As planned.
The theme of the project
The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity's Food for Thought Program is designed to exercise memory, executive function,
visual function, visual language and association through creative projects. Weekly studio classes are 90 minutes.
Projects are designed to be completed within each studio class. Our Teaching Artists provide stress-free, nurturing
guidance to help participants utilize their own innate creativity.
Being creative causes the brain to adapt, providing exceptional cognitive exercise for our brains and strong defense
against Alzheimer's disease. Combining creativity with using our hands while being visually engaged, uses multiple
areas of our brain all at once, thus connecting syntax. Brain research shows that making art improves cognitive
functions by producing new neural pathways. This enhances cognitive reserves that actively compensate by using
divergent strategies.
Studies indicate that while brains inevitably age, creative abilities do not necessarily deteriorate. The aging brain
responds well to art by allowing the two hemispheres to work in tandem. Using one's own creativity throughout a
lifetime, positively impacts the retention ofintelligence gained from accumulated knowledge and life experiences.
The allocation of funds to date: Grant amount was SIOOO.
S900 covered four classes at Oasis Senior Center and SIOO was applied to a class at Hoag Center for Healthy Living. The
remaining costs of the program at Hoag was covered, in part, by a grant from the Schnurmacher Foundation.
The kinds of educational services provided by this project
Our educational programs are based on scientific research into brain functionality and its direct correlation to the
scientific fact that, creativity exercises the brain in the most complete and complex manner.
The composition of the professional staff rendering these services
The professional staff was composed of our program developer and lead teaching artist, Denise Dion-Scoyni, and
teaching artist, Madeline Peckenpaugh.
2.Please describe how the program was evaluated. Include information on measures your organization has
initiated to improve the project in the future.
Four factors were considered when evaluating the efficacy of the programs.
1. Fluency-The number of responses and the amount of productivity when the exercise was initiated.
2. Flexibility-How many different responses were elicited by any given participant to the exercise.
3. Originality-How uncommon or unique were the responses to the exercise by participants.
4. Elaboration-How detailed was the response to the exercise and how sophisticated was the quality of the
visual representation of the idea expressed by a participant.
We feel that there are three distinct areas that require supported improvement.
1. Communication-Current demographic is lacking technical sophistication, making coordination and
communication difficult. Developing better outreach to these individuals, such as mailers and flyers, may help.
2. Caregivers-We found that the caregivers received as much benefit and reward from the program as those it
was initially designed to reach. Designing a concurrent program for these individuals will be the next step.
3. Transportation-Ease of access greatly increased participation at Oasis Senior Center where they offer bus
service to and from their facility for seniors (and their caregivers) who are unable to drive themselves. Hoag
Center for Healthy Living doesn"t offer the same convenience and class size was smaller as a result.
3. Please add any other comments you feel are appropriate.
According to the 2017 estimated census for Newport Beach, residents who are 65 and older make up 19% (16,162) of
the total population. Based on data from the QC Alzheimer"s Association, 40% (6,464) are being cared for by a loved one
within the same age range. Food for Thought, a science-based creativity program, can potentially make a positive impact
on 22,626 Newport Beach residents.
4.Please attach relevant press clippings, brochures, photos, etc. that demonstrate how the project was
completed or is in process.
An article in the QC Register this year about the Center's Food for Thought program touches on many of the most
important aspects ofthis program: http://bit.ly/HealthyBrainAging.

* COmaT!&
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein.
Craig Kausen has a crazy childhood memory of his grandfather, Chuck. It takes
place in the summer of 1972 in the backyard of Chuck's Cameo Shores house in
Corona del Mar.
Craig was 10 years old. His brother Todd was 11. Chuck told his grandsons to put
on some swim fins. Then he tied them up with twine at their ankles, their knees
and their elbows.
ADVERTISING
And he pushed them into the pool.
As the boys thrashed around, Chuck settled into his green vinyl crosshatch
lounge chair to watch. And sketch.
"He wanted to see how sea lions moved in the water," Craig says, laughing. "Tied
up, we were floundering, justlike sea lions. It was part of his research.... Of
course we had to bark."
Craig's grandfather was the famous animator Chuck Jones. He's the guy who gave
birth to Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote and Pepe Le Pew. And he's also the three-
time Oscar-winning director of Looney Tunes cartoons starring Bugs Bunny,
Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig.
Jones spent his later years as an ambassador of animation, traveling the country
to speak to fans about his cartoons. But he also told fans to let their own
creativity out to play.
"He believed there's a creative genius inside of everybody, lurking about, in some
way, whether it's writing, science, education, medicine," Craig says. "When you
tap into the creativity, the byproducts are passion, curiosity and joy. There's
electricity."
Chuck died in 2002 at age 89. But Craig, a computer engineer and instructor at
Orange County community colleges, is on a mission to continue his grandfather's
legacy. He and his mom, Chuck's daughter Linda, who is now 80, started the
Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, a non-profit in Costa Mesa.
In a world where standard education seems to devalue imagination and art
classes are viewed as a luxury, the now 19-year-old nonprofit's mission feels
particularly critical.
"We're getting taught out of creativity," Craig says.
Hidden crisis
Leaders in education, business and healthcare are beginning to sound the
creativity alarm.
Craig singles out Sir Ken Robinson, who was knighted a'fter leading the British
government's advisory committee on the importance of creativity in education
and the economy.
Robinson gives a famous TED talk you can watch on YouTube where he insists
that creativity is as important as literacy.
"Our education system is predicated on our idea of academic ability," Robinson
says. "We need to radically rethink our view oTintelligence. Intelligence is
dynamic. It's wonderfully interactive. (But) our education system has mined our
minds in the way we've strip-mined the earth."
The science behind creativity suggests it isn't a trivial problem.
Dr. William Shankle trained as a statistician before he became a neurologist 30
years ago and now runs the Orange County Vital Brain Aging Program at Hoag
Hospital.
He's atso a big fan of Wide E. Coyote.
Wile E., you might recall, spends every waking minute thinking up new,
hilariously creative ways to off Road Runner. Explosive rabbit decoys, rocket-
powered roller skates, earthquake pills, jet-fueled tennis shoes.
It was, among other things, creative problem-solving. And creative problem
solving requires a brainstorm. And brainstorming, neurologists now believe, is
critical to keeping your brain young.
"The creative process activates more brain areas than any other cognitive
activity," Shankle says. "It is more important for long-term development in life;
much more important than just the standard learning of basic skills. When
people do the same thing over and over throughout their life, they don't engage
in problem-solving. And when you don't engage in problem-solving, you lose a
brain area. It literally shrinks. It's like a muscle. The fibers pull in, the synapses
get weaker and smaller."
MRI studies back this up.
"Maintaining an active, engaged brain might be just as important to brain health
for people in their 50s and 60s as cardiovascular exercise is to heart disease
prevention," Shankle says.
That's why Shankle, who is 62, takes guitar lessons and tennis lessons and math
lessons.
It's also why he is teaming up with the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. The goal
is for the center to conduct workshops on the Hoag campus for the aging public.
A brain doesn't have to be old to benefit from creativity, though.
The Chuck Jones Center also has after-school art programs in 1l elementary
schools, mostly in Irvine. There are also free Drop In and Draw sessions for all
ages on most Saturday mornings at its headquarters, an energetic, airy space at
the QC Mix in Costa Mesa.
A few months ago, they hit a huge milestone, opening their second center: Chuck
Jones Center Chicagoland just outside the city. The Plato Learning Academy, a
charter school in one of Chicago's highest-crime neighborhoods, has already
retained them to begin after-school programs.
"They're fired up," Craig says.
Craig wants everyone to understand that the center's programs are not just for
the "artistic" kids.
"That creative genius exists in every person," he says.
He quotes Pablo Picasso: "We are all born artists. The challenge is to remain an
artist as we grow up."
Shankle agrees. "Most people think of creativity as being the province of artists. I
think that's an incorrect concept."
Creativity can be taught and practiced.
"Chuck believed that imagination is always in there, lurking about, it's just not
always apparent," Craig says. "You have to learn your trade and your tools and
put your discipline in. You have to understand the rules completely - so you
know how to appropriately break them."
In an interview that Chuck Jones gave before he died (which you can still watch
on YouTube), he talked about how when he was 15 his father let him drop out of
high school to enroll at California Institute of the Arts.
He considered himself creative, he says in the interview, but after arriving at
CalArts he found himself surrounded by students "drawing like Leonardo da
Vinci" and was quickly dispirited.
"I could draw a little bit, but I couldn't keep up," Chuck says.
After only a week he told his uncle that he wanted to quit, blurting out: "You can't
make a racehorse out of pig!"
His uncle patted him on the knee.
"No, but you can make a very fast pig," his uncle told him.
Land of Yes
The Center's mission is to start people on their own creative path. Craig
describes it as "a gymnasium for the brain."
As the Center's lead teaching artist and program developer, Denise Dion-Scoyni
is the head coach.
"She's a godsend of energy," Craig says.
Dion-Scoyni was hired three years ago after returning to Orange County from
Kauai where she and her husband Mike raised their two daughters. Now she
trains the center's six teaching artists and the dozen or so volunteer artists
(including a Rose Parade float designer and a digital animator).
Their mission, whether working with school children or memory-challenged
adults, is to "nurture creativity," using paint, clay and other media.
"We give prompts and guidance, but our projects are meant to afford individual
outcomes," she says.
For her the Center is as much a calling or a passion as it is a job. She believes
creativity is as necessary as reading and writing, and worries that it is slipping
away.
"We're seeing a disconnect in young kids who are not doing handwork," she says.
"They're just pushing buttons. Swiping with one finger."
Shankle said it is not just sad, but dangerous, arguing that the less emphasis our
education system puts on the arts, the less competitive America will become.
Ashley Merryman has spoken at the Center in the past. She co-authored a 2010
Newsweek article titled "The Creativity Crisis," which references the Torrance
Test, developed in the 1 950s by psychologist E. Paul Torrance to measure
creativity. Torrance administered the test to several hundred Minneapolis
children and then spent years tracking them.
"The correlation to lifetime creative accomplishment was more than three times
stronger for childhood creativity than (it was for) childhood IQ," Merryman wrote.
Many business leaders know this.
Craig points to a poll conducted in 2010 by IBM that asked CEOs what quality
they most desired in leaders. The answer: Creativity.
"The race is on for doing something innovative," he says. "Workers are being
asked to be more creative, to think differently.
In a 2016 New York Times opinion piece, Wharton School professor Adam Grant
made a case for creativity over intellect.
"Child prodigies rarely become adult geniuses who change the world," he wrote.
"What holds them back is that they don't learn to be original. They strive to earn
the approval of their parents and the admiration of their teachers... Practice
makes perfect, but it doesn't make new."
According to Grant, compared to your average scientist, "Nobel Prize winners are
22 times more likely to perform as actors, dancers or magicians; 12 times more
likely to write poetry, plays or novels; seven times more likely to dabble in arts
and crafts: and twice as likely to play an instrument or compose music."
Craig recounts the time when he accompanied his grandfather to a speaking
engagement at the Chuck Jones Gallery in Santa Fe. A group of nuclear physicists
showed up from the nearby Los Alamos National Lab. They told Chuck that their
scientific imaginations were sparked as kids by none other than Wile E. Coyote
and his ACME contraptions on Saturday morning cartoons.
It's not just scientists who benefit from creativity.
"Creativity is found in every line of work, because all lines of work require
problem solving," Shankle says. "When you give people the tools (to be creative),
you give them the ability to do a much better job at whatever they do."
The Center's vision for 2018 is to move into community centers and possibly
summer camps for kids.
"What we want to bring about is to start getting people to use their creativity at a
younger age, to keep (brain aging) at bay," says Dion-Scoyni. "So we're not just
the tiger chasing the tail. Creativity in the teens, 20s, 30s extends cognitive
functioning in your senior years."
At the same time, you're never too old to start.
Shankle, the neurologist, has stories.
"One patient still blows my mind," Shankle says.
The man has the fastest moving form of dementia, Lewy Body Disorder. He was
in his 50s when Shankle first diagnosed him. Shankle put him on a medication,
but it had ill effects on his vision and muscle coordination. So Shankle also
prescribed drawing or painting.
His patient took up both, along with a course in Spanish. That was 6 years ago.
'And he's had almost no progression, which is unbelievable, like impossible,"
Shankle says. "I mean, you just don't see it. Lewy Body goes much faster than
Alzheimer's and this guy has literally remained stable for 6 years. That's the
power of those kinds of things."
Autism groups have also seen the benefits of creative exercise. The Center for
Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Santa Ana just retained the Chuck
Jones Center's services. And the city of Newport Beach gave them a $1,000 arts
and cultural grant to do a brain health program at the Oasis Senior Center in
Corona del Mar.
"There's no lack of need," Craig says. "But we're limited by resources. We need to
double our budget to really make an impact."
About 50 percent of their $150,000 annual budget comes from fundraisers. A
quarter comes from grants and donors. They get the rest from paid gigs, such as
corporate team-building workshops. Neither Craig nor his mother draw a salary.
The bulk of the budget pays for teaching artists and materials.
Even though Chuck Jones created and directed some of the most 'famous cartoon
characters on the planet, neither his daughter nor his grandson get any money
from them.
"We don't own the characters," Craig says. "Warner Bros. does."
That just means getting more creative about finding money. All ideas are
welcome. The only thing not welcome is whining. Or negativity.
Chuck's one big rule was that you could not say NO. That went for whether he
was at Warner Bros., writing cartoons with fellow animators, or at the Five
Crowns Restaurant, challenging his companions to see who could hang a spoon
on the end of their nose the longest.
"The biggest killer of creativity was 'No,' Craig says. "Chuck was adamant about
that. As soon as somebody says 'No,' everything disappears. All the energy, all the
creative juices go flat. It was one of those big 'yes' sessions: What if? How about?
And then you could..."
One of Chuck's drawings is actually of a huge granite NO.
It's got all the weight in the world, and it's suspended by a rope over this delicate
golden YES. A pair of scissors floats above the rope, about to snip, crushing that
YES.
'And that's the way Chuck saw it," Craig says. "There is this fledgling little YES
waiting to be nurtured."

CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization’s purpose, mission, and goals.
Ensign Intermediate School Dance Club utilizes the art of dance to help students that may be
struggling to find a sense of belonging and connection in large school during a challenging transitional
period in life.
Ensign Dance Club intends to provide a space for self-expression for all students but especially low income students and students of various intellectual and physical abilities. The goals of Ensign Dance
Club include providing a fun and safe way to build self-confidence, be physically active, and make
friends, all while providing real experience in the performing arts. Experience in Dance Club also assists
these students in their transition to high school, with an activity that they can continue to participate in at their new school.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your
findings (i.e. “Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th
grades at Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments.” ) Describe
how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed
project/program.
Ensign Dance Club was founded in 2016 by a student named Melanie that was having trouble
feeling like she was a part of her school community. In a meeting with her teachers and parents, it was
discovered that Melanie loved to express herself through dance and from there the Ensign Dance Club
was formed. The club quickly grew in size with many other students that didn’t feel like they fit in with other clubs or sports. While Dance Club members represent the diverse Ensign community, most of the participants are those that struggle to participate in other activities due to a lack of financial ability,
experience, or due to physical or intellectual disabilities.
37% of students at Ensign students are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. Many of
these students are unable to participate in other clubs or after school activities due to the cost or issues with transportation. Dance Club is offered at no cost to students, and the school offers bus transportation
for students that stay for after school activities. Over 50% of the students that participate in Dance Club
are from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. One student in the club is homeless.
8.7% of the 1,182 students at Ensign have disabilities. Ensign Dance Club is a phenomenal way to
support these students in finding their place in middle school. It provides professional dance instruction at a beginner’s level. While the students learn dance fundamentals, the songs and choreography used for
performances are modern and upbeat which help the students to feel relevant and confident to show off
their moves on campus. About 40% of Dance Club members receive school services to assist with various
disabilities.

of routines, and coaching on confidence, teamwork, and problem solving.
Sandy McCormick holds a Fitness Specialist Certification from OCC. In addition to running CS
Dance Factory, she teaches dance classes, coaches dance teams, and provides choreography for musical theater and dance productions for schools and groups. She has experience in ballet, jazz, tap, flamenco, swing dancing and Zumba. Cathy Badum is also an experienced and certified Zumba instructor that also
teaches dance and is experienced in fitness training. Sandy and Cathy have been instructing Ensign Dance
Club since February 2016.
Club Advisor Jill Aguirre is a Special Education teacher at Ensign. Club Advisor Amy Tupa teaches social-emotional intervention classes and social studies at Ensign Intermediate.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.

Request for District Tax ID Number for Donations to Newport Mesa Unified School District.
Because student organizations are legally part of the school district, they are exempt from
income tax just as the district is due to its status as a governmental organization. The District is
not a private 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, but enjoys tax-exempt status by virtue of being a
government entity. Many external organizations that donate to a student organization will request
a tax identification number because they assume that this number is needed to claim a tax
deduction on their annual income tax return. However, the district's tax identification number is
not needed for them to claim a deduction and will not be given out. Government organizations
are not required to share their tax identification numbers.
All donations to the District must be presented to the Board of Education at a scheduled Board
meeting and the Board of Education may accept any bequest or gift of money or property on
behalf of the District for the benefit of the District. These gifts, donations, grants, and bequests
may be made subject to conditions or restrictions that the Board of Education may prescribe.
Board Policy 3290.
Any and all gifts, including donations, grants, and bequests received on behalf of the district,
and/or its schools, including gifts to Associated Student Body accounts must receive formal
acceptance from the Board. After Board acceptance, proper acknowledgment of the gift will be
made by letter to the donor by the Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer. This
acknowledgement letter will include the donor(s) name, dollar value of the donation and which
entity received the donation.
Thank you.

Animation, and Music in Film Presented by Costa Communications.
FESTIVAL HONOREES
The Newport Beach Film Festival will also recognize prominent artists, including:
Icon Award
Paco Delqado
Well-known in the industry for his deceptively complex work and love of bold colors, the twice Oscar-nominated
Spanish costume designer (for Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables" and "The Danish Girl") was born in the Canary Islands
and grew up loving to draw, and initially studied theater and set design. But after moving to London, where he
created sets for various Fringe productions, he gradually moved away from set design and into costume design,
where he found his true calling. Since then, he's collaborated with such top directors as Pedro Almod6var ("The Skin
I Live In"), Alejandro G. Iriarritu ("Biutiful") and M. Night Shyamalan ("Split" and the upcoming "Glass"). Most
recently, Delgado, who's also won two Goya Awards, created the haute couture-inspired fantastical costumes worn
by Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling in Ava DuVernay's 'A Wrinkle in Time." Next up: Disney
adventure Jungle Cruise," starring Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson.
Artist of Distinction
Jessica Par6
The Canadian actress turned a lot of heads with her powerful, heartbreaking turn as Megan Draper in the acclaimed
AMC series "Mad Men." But Par6 has been a face to watch ever since she made her debut inl999 with a small role in
TV movie "Bonanno: A Godfather's Story," shot while she was still in her final year in high school. That experience
encouraged her to pursue acting, and she got her big break the next year when, after auditioning for another small
role in the indie "Stardom," director Denys Arcand cast her in the lead as a supermodel. The film, which played in
Cannes, launched her career, and since then Par6 has tackled a broad range of film and TV projects, including
"Wicker Park" (her Hollywood debut), TV miniseries "Napoleon," vampire horror-comedy "Suck," the Kennedy teen
drama series Jack & Bobby" and the comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine." She's next slated to play the title character in
"Queen Bee."
Breakout
Nadine Haders
If you've seen the Oscar-winning, multi-layered horror comedy film "Get Out," the debut feature film from comedian-
turned-director Jordan Peele, then you've seen the work of up-and-coming costume designer Haders. As a key
member of Peele's creative team, she underscored the satire, symbolism and referential humor with precise
wardrobes for each character that visually helped clue audiences into what was going on beneath the surface (the
urban hero wears blue, then gray as he enters a strange new world where black and white and splashes of red are all
vivid signifiers). L.A.-based Haders cut her teeth on such TV shows as "Into the Badlands," "Legends," "Raising
Hope," "Leverage" and "John From Cincinnati," and her most recent work can be seen in CBS' rebooted hit
"MacGyver." Haders is working on the upcoming sci-fi horror film "Only You," directed by Jacob Estes and starring
Storm Reid and David Oyelowo.
Newcomer
!usji!!
After graduating from Dodge College, the aspiring writer-director worked at a visual effects house before deciding
to make a commercial on spec for Tesla called "Tesla - Modern Spaceship," which he wrote, produced and
directed. The gamble paid off big time when it got the attention of Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk and advertising
agencies, and jumpstarted Sill's career. He quickly launched a production company and began making commercials
and music videos, and in 2015 he won director accolades at the YouTube Music Awards for his imaginative and
visually stunning music video for Lindsey Stirling "Take Flight." Since then he's directed branded short films for
Google, NASA, Nike and EA Games, and made the ultimate Star Wars fan film, "Kara," a short that was shot in the
desert near Yuma, Ariz. He recently wrapped production on his first feature film, "Stray," a supernatural noir thriller
inspired by Japanese anime, made for less than $400,000.

The Foundation provides critical support to the Newport Beach Public Library system through its cutting-
edge, diverse programs that are aimed at informing and intellectually stimulating the greater Orange County
cornrnunity. NBPLF provides critical :[unding to make up the shortfall between the City's budget and the
need for new library technologies, enhancements and programming that result in a nationally recognized
library that is highly valued in our community. It is the Foundation's goal to help to ensure that the Newport
Beach Public Library will continue to be a place of discovery and intellectual sanctuary for all.
2.Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based yourfindings
(i.e. "Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at
Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical inqtrnmcnts." ) Describe how you have
determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program.
The NBPLF is the primary programming source for the Newport Beach Public Library serving over 7,100
people who attended 71 programs offered by the Foundation last year. The library is a crucial asset in the
community for providing programming that is attractive to young children in order to insure that they have
a positive experience very early in their lives, as it is an undisputable fact that reading is critical to future
academic success. The Bunnies & Books for Kids Festival has been held annually since 2013 and is
designed to address that goal. Its bunny theme informs the books chosen for story time as well as other
features that provide learning opportunities such as live bunnies brought by a rabbit rescue group.
Attendance has increased steadily each year and activities have expanded. Last year, the Festival drew over
400 attendees, and based on the trends, we expect significantly more attendees in 2019. In past years, we
included Storywalk (TM), as well as a dance in which Corona del Mar High School dance students taught
children to act out a Native American myth about rabbits. We have held an art contest three years ago that
provided teens an opportunity to design the Festival logo that we use today. Perhaps the Festival's biggest
accomplishment is its inclusiveness and the excitement it creates about reading and becoming part of one of
Newport Beach's finest cultural outreaches, the Newport Beach library.
Not only does this program offer all of these activities free of charge in a forum that has no limits on the
number able to attend, but each activity brings together adults, children and teens. The NBPLF is proud to
attract so many families to the NBPL and provide free education in a kid-friendly environment.

3. Describe the project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the
proposed project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with
planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and
performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and
qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember:
the Ciffl fwds only projects and programs- riot operating expenses. These projects and programs must
promote commtmiffl involvemetgt and awareness of the arts in NewportEeach.
Is this a newor existing project/program?
This grant will be used to fund our largest children's event of the year, the Bunnies & Books for Kids
Festival. The NBPLF is proud to present the Bunnies & Books for Kids Festival to our community and
would like to partner be honored to name the Newport Beach City Arts Commission as its partner for
2019. This is the 6'h year of the Bunnies & Books Festival, which will take on the grounds of the
Newport Beach Public Library both inside the libray and on the library grounds. Cultural enrichment
activities include a librarian-led story time, crafts, music, dance and lawn games. A key feature of the
Festival's activities is Storywalk (TM), which features a literal walk through a children's book along the
path in the library's sculpture garden. Children and their parents follow the story page by page by
walking through the garden. In addition, a librarian-led story time, crafts, music, dance and lawn games.
The program is part of the Foiuidations Making Memories for Children (MMFC) program series. The
goal of MMFC is to engage, educate and inspire children ages 5-12 years. The Festival fulfills this goal
by providing children in our community with the opportunity to engage in art and literature with hands-
on activities such as reading aloud, creating art, participating in group games and acting out stories
through dance. By partnering with the Newport Beach City Arts Commission, we intend to expand the
outreach of the Bunnies & Books Festival. To do this we plan to execute a wide marketing reach,
highlighting the Arts Commission in our professionally designed and printed newsletter and program
materials. These materials are distributed throughout the city's community centers, library branches,
and mailed directly to 3,000 homes in Newport Beach. Sponsors are also listed in our email blasts sent
out to our 19,000-member database and are listed on the Foundation website, which enjoys 150-200
visitors on the days following our e-blast announcements. The program will take place at the Newport
Beach Public Library on May 11', 2019 from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. A committee was formed in June,
2018 and has been planning the event through a series of monthly meetings. The Foundation contracts
with a web designer and a marketing firm who have been engaged by the comtnittee to begin designing
the materials for the 2019 Bunnies & Books Festival. Mass marketing of the event will begin March,
2019 in all our media outlets. The performers have not yet been hired as they are in the vetting stages.
The Foundation employs a full-time Director of Progratns, Kunga Upshaw-Wangmo who started with
the Foundation in August, 2018 and come with a vast array of experience in program planning, most
recently with the World Affairs Council. The Newport Beach Public Library Foundation is proud of our
24 years of providing high-quality cultural enrichment to the Newport Beach community.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by
your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
The Newport Beach Public Library (NBPL) welcomes over one million visitors a year, and more than half of
the NBPL's cardholders are Newport residents. Seventy-five percent of our Library Foundation members are
Newport Beach residents, and as most of our program attendees are members, roughly 400 of the Festival
attendees will be Newport Beach residents. The Bunnies and Books festival is our premier children's
program. It is attended by children as young as 18 months old through 10 years accompanied by their parents.
Last year over 400 children and their parents attended this program and this year, with the help of the
Newport Beach City Arts Commission we intend to ramp up efforts and add another 100 to our attendance

6.Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate
the results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program
met the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide
50 hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
The stated mission of the NBPLF's children's program series, Making Memories for Children, is to engage,
educate and inspire children ages 5-12 years old. We evaluate the success of the program by the variety and
quality of the activities we are able to offer, attendance figures and feedback. In addition to exposure to the
arts, the Festival is also designed to familiarize the attendees with
their public librgy. This is done by setting up the activities so that attendees are led through the library and
its groiu'ids so that they are exposed to the literary arts through our book collection as well as to the visual
arts in our Sculpture Garden. Quantitatively, we measure the success of the Festival by the number of people
who attend as well as by those that use the library on the day of the Festival.

Lecture
The Newport Beach Sister City Board of Directors will implement the following event with
assistance from the Newport Beach Cultural Arts Commission.
Art Exhibit - Lecture
January 12 through March 1, 2019, artist Gianni de Genevraye's paintings will be on display in the
Central Library foyer. These paintings were recently created while Ms. Genevraye was living in
our sister cities; Antibes, France, Okazaki, Japan and Cabo San Lucas where she stayed with local
residents. Ms. Genevraye is an intci xaliuni"ll QniSt who paints public gardens throughout Europe,
Mexico, and the United States. Her works are seen in Collections in France, Italy, Sweden and the
United States.
The evening of January lO'h, Ms. Genevraye will give a lecture in the Friends Room at the Central
Library sharing her visits to each of our sister cities and her works of art completed in each city.
Artist Reception
This event is open to all citizens of Newport Beach, adults and youth, and other interested
individuals. They are invited to view the paintings, attend a reception in Ms. Genevraye's honor
and a lecture following. During the lecture they will learn how the artist perceived the environment
of the three different countries and hear about her experience while being hosted there. Those
residents interested in the art medium and the Sister City program will want to attend this event.
The other 120,000 visitors, who will pass through our library while her paintings are on display,
will take in the beauty of the environments captured on canvas by Gianne.
Our goal is to promote awareness of our Newport Beach Sister Cities and to coordinate an event
with the Newport Beach Cultural Arts Clommiqsion We want to provide various opportunities for
residents to participate in this project and learn more about our sister cities. The Newport Beach
Sister City Association has strived over our 35 years in existence to provide a vehicle for the citizens
of our community, to build international connections through culhiral exchanges, education, travel
and friendships.

Special invitations will be extended to dignitaries such as Newport Beach Mayor, Newport Beach
City Council Members, Members of the Newport Beach Arts Commission, Consul Generals of
Japan, France and Mexico, President of Sister Cities International as well as others in our
community.
Newport Beach Sister City Association will reach out to the art departments of our local high
schools to inform them of this cultural opportunity. Perhaps a special time could be arranged for
the students to meet and talk with the artist.
We will be contacting other groups such as Sherman Gardens, and Visit Newport to see if they will
help promote this event.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by
your pro5cct/prog;ram. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.

lecture can discover how the artist perceived the environment in: Antibes, France, Okazaki,
Japan, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and learn more about our Sister City programs.

CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization’s purpose, mission, and goals.
The Newport Elementary School Foundation (NESF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
that funds programs to enhance the educational experience at Newport Elementary School
and to fill the financial gap left by state budget cuts. Our mission is to ensure that the children of Newport Elementary receive the best elementary education possible, despite budget cuts and leaner times.
Part of Newport Elementary School Foundation’s mission is to provide our students access
to art education through the funding of the Art Masters Program, a Visual Arts Education program that provides Lectures/Visual Multimedia presentations on historically significant artists as well as hands-on studio art activities. The program is fully compliant with the California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards and provides the
children exposure to the visual arts not currently included in the school’s standard
curriculum. The goal of the program is to provide every Newport Elementary student in grades Kindergarten through 6th additional enrichment through formal art instruction.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings
(i.e. “Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at
Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments.” ) Describe how you have
determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program. The 500 students of Newport Elementary and their families are an important active part of the Newport Beach Community as a whole. The Art Masters Program gives our young students
exposure to world renowned artists and historically significant art styles and movements,
opening their young minds the visual arts. This program services this community by providing art education where there would be none. Without this program, Newport Elementary could not provide an art program for its students
due to budgetary constraints. Below is an excerpt from an article written by Carolyn Jones
dated June 28th, 2017 highlighting the reasons why the arts are neglected in California Schools: (https://edsource.org/2017/national-arts-scores-are-in-and-the-western-u-s-lags-behind/583841)
“California used to lead the nation in arts education. But over the last 40 years there’s been an
unraveling.” Said Patricia Wayne, program director for Create CA.
Until the 1970s, California had one of the top arts programs in the country, she said. Children learned to play musical instruments, draw, paint and make clay sculptures, performed plays at all grade levels and otherwise learned to express themselves artistically. But in 1970, a state law
eliminated arts requirements from elementary teacher training, and in 1978 Proposition 13 resulted
in deep cuts in school art and music programs. Another major blow was the federal No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law in 2002, which emphasized reading and math tests to such an extent that some schools scaled back other topics,
3
such as art. California has a rigorous K-12 arts framework, which is part of the California
Education Code and which all schools are required to teach, but because the state has no standardized arts tests, some schools skip arts lessons entirely in favor of subjects that are tested, such as math and reading.
3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed
project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and
key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds only projects and programs-
not operating expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and awareness of the arts in Newport Beach.
Is this a new_____ or existing __X_ _ project/program?
The Art Masters Program at Newport Elementary consists of Full Day Lectures/Visual Media
Assemblies conducted six times throughout the school year (September 2018 to June 2019). Each Lecture is a multimedia presentation assembly using art visuals, images and engrossing stories covering each artist and/or art subject. In addition, there is an accompanying Classroom/Studio Art Activity for each Artist that includes hands-on studio art activities enabling students to
create their own individual works of art in the manner of the master artist or art subject, using
the same styles, techniques, media and disciplines. This program is taught by Art Masters Legacy (http://www.artmasterslegacy.com/), the leading
innovator and provider of visual arts education programs for over 25 years. Funded by the
Newport Elementary School Foundation and with coordination from school staff, this program
provides students K through 6th an unforgettable introduction to the visual arts that enhances creative thinking for every student.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc. This program will service the 500 students of Newport Elementary School for grades Kindergarten through 6th grade, ages 5 years old to 12 years old. The students reside in the
surrounding community of Newport Beach – see “Newport ES” green section in the map below:

5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project. Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the
results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
The Art Masters Program’s goal is to provide a minimum 60 hours of art education to the 500
students enrolled in Newport Elementary School for the 2018/2019 school year. To determine we
meet this goal, we will log the Lecture/Assembly and classroom instruction hours. 7. Attachments Requested

appreciation and love of classical music; and 4) Develop an optimal mix of philanthropic, earned and
capital resources to ensure long-term capacity to achieve strategic goals.
The orchestra annually presents over 100 concerts and presentations for the public, serving
275,000 residents and visitors. Its education and community engagement programs provide interactive
music enrichment for K-12 students, vulnerable populations and disadvantaged residents. In alignment
with a new strategic plan, the Symphony has advanced efforts for greater national and international
visibility by making its invitational debut at Carnegie Hall last April, touring to five metropolitan cities in China last May, and nationally broadcasting a concert on PBS Great Performances in June 2018.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings (i.e.
“Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments.” ) Describe how you have determined that
your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program.
Class Act offers the rare participation and leadership of Pacific Symphony musicians, who serve as teaching artists, coaches and mentors. Musicians make students feel privileged and special, and
inspire them to attain their academic and artistic goals. Students gain life skills through music education,
and receive the many benefits of studying the arts, proven to augment student academic achievement. A
2017 study at the Brain and Creativity Institute of USC shows that exposure to music and music
instruction accelerates the brain development of children in the areas responsible for language development, sound, reading skills and speech perception. These elements are essential for student
academic success and STEM proficiency.
Three Newport Beach elementary schools are participating: Andersen and Harbor View (each starting their 9th year in Class Act) and Newport Coast (entering its 10th year). The multiple-year
engagement of children has ensured the delivery of the many academic and developmental benefits of
music learning. Based on research proving that involvement in the arts is of great value, there is a
continuing need for music for Newport Beach students. A total of 1,524 students and educators will be
served through the project. Class Act is designed and refined to meet the decreasing number of available arts programs in the Newport-Mesa School District, which have been reduced due to budget cuts to the arts. Newport Beach schools rely on Pacific Symphony to provide quality music education for their
students. Class Act remains the only arts education program in the county furnishing professional union
Pacific Symphony musicians in the classroom, serving as mentoring artists to schoolchildren.

3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the
proposed project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with
planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and
performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds
only projects and programs- not operating expenses. These projects and programs must promote
community involvement and awareness of the arts in Newport Beach.
Is this a new_____ or existing __X__ project/program?
Grant funds are respectfully requested for the Class Act Music Education Program in three
Newport Beach schools for 2018-19. Since 1994, Class Act has filled the growing local need for quality
music education using the arts as a means to enhance academic achievement and enrich school
communities. Class Act trains and places individual professional Pacific Symphony union musicians into Orange County-based schools. Musicians work as teaching artists in year-long residencies focused
on the fundamentals of music through age-appropriate classroom instruction.
Class Act runs from September to June, with participating schools forming a team consisting of
the principal, teachers, parent coordinators, school volunteers and the Pacific Symphony musician. The Symphony designs a Common Core curriculum-based theme, workshop materials and lesson plans for
all schools by September. The 2018-19 composer of the year is Peter Tchaikovsky with the theme
“Symphonic Storytelling.” Materials are delivered to classroom teachers from September to December
during training workshops where they learn to integrate music into all areas of learning. Student
activities and arts workshops with the Symphony musician run from January to May. Youth Concerts and Bravo Assemblies occur in May and June. Evaluation is conducted to assess improvements. Staff
gauges program effectiveness throughout the year to monitor that goals and objectives are being met.
Class Act participants include the entire student body at Andersen, Harbor View and Newport
Coast Elementary Schools, as well as school teachers, principals, parent coordinators, administrators and volunteers. There are eleven Pacific Symphony musicians who participate in Class Act, a program
which serves 32 Orange County schools in total. Each school is assigned one professional union
musician, which alters every year. Three of the eleven musicians inaugurated Class Act in 1994, with
the remaining eight long-time members of the orchestra and/or experienced Class Act teaching artists.
The program is led by Vice President of Education Susan Kotses, who has 11 years of experience with the Symphony and in the education community. Class Act utilizes a staff of 7 who manage, coordinate
and oversee all program components and activities. Since its beginning, Class Act has served over
280,000 students, teachers and principals in Orange County, over a 24-year history.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
In 2018-19, Class Act will serve 1,524 residents of three Newport Beach elementary schools:
Andersen Elementary with 385 students, Harbor View Elementary with 451 students, Newport Coast
with 622 students; and in total 63 teachers and 3 principals. Each school serves Kindergarten to 6th grade students, ages 5-11. All three schools have partnered with Class Act for a number of years, and all three
were the beneficiaries of funds from this grant in 2016-17.

5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project.
Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a
marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
The overall desired outcome is for K-6 children to improve their academic achievement through
music education in the classroom at each school. The overarching outcome for teachers is to improve
their music aptitude in order to teach the arts more effectively in the classroom, and augment student
learning in music. The quantifiable outcomes for the 1458 students and 63 teachers in 2018-19 are:
1. A total of 80% or 1,167 students out of the estimated 1,458 will demonstrate increased
knowledge about the Class Act composer of the year (Tchaikovsky) and his music. Outcomes are
measured through pre- and post-program testing, questionnaires and teacher surveys.
2. A total of 948 students out of the 1,458 total will manifest a desire to further engage in music, representing 65% of all Class Act students. Results are measured through student follow-up
polls, surveys and enrollment in subsequent school and community music programs.
3. A total of 85% or 54 of the 63 Class Act teachers will increase their capacity to teach the arts
more effectively and better support the Common Core in their classroom. These results are quantified through teacher and principal surveys, individual interviews, one-on-one follow-up
meetings and teacher focus groups.

The Frieda Belinfante
Class Act Program
lass Act is a comprehensive symphonic education partnership between Pacific
Symphony and 32 elementary schools throughout Orange County. The program
introduces up to 19,000 students and their families to the musicians of Pacific
Symphony and educates them on orchestral music. The students’ year culminates
with the opportunity to attend a performance by the full orchestra at Renée and
Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
This year-long program gives students, parents, teachers and administrators the
opportunity to host their very own Pacific Symphony musician, who provides
lessons, assemblies and concerts centered on a selected composer and theme.
Classroom teachers are given Common Core and VAPA aligned standards based
materials and training to extend the learning experience with their students.
With so many program components and opportunities to interact, valuable
relationships are created between school communities and the musicians of Pacific
Symphony.
Class Act introduces and exposes students to music through engaging educational
experiences, which paves the way for personal involvement and growth in the arts.
“There has been a systematic depletion of our students' exposure to
the arts…the school-wide field trip, the classroom instruction, the
personal connection with musicians, and the celebration of our
students’ performances have made Class Act a powerful motivator
and influence in our school and the lives of our students.”
– Dale Hillyer, principal of Stoddard Elementary
Program Goals:
1) To form close relationships
between Pacific Symphony and
school communities throughout
Orange County.
2) To enrich the quality and
enhance availability of music
learning in schools through
sequential interactions with
professional musicians.
3) To develop a foundation for
life-long learning through the
arts.
4) To enhance the school’s
learning environment via
repeated exposure to the
expectations of a concert and
guest-artist environment.
5) To facilitate the teaching of
and exposure to the arts in the
classroom.

Southern California's cultural institutes pitch in on arts education
The L.A. Philharmonic and Pacific Symphony are among the cultural groups helping
supplement beleaguered school districts.
By Marcia Adair 11:45 AM PDT, August 16, 2013
The first day of school, one of America's great communal experiences. Pencils are sharpened,
backpacks bought and outfits laid out, found to be totally lame, OMG, and laid out again. But what today's kids in Los Angeles public schools will experience on Days 2 through 180 is significantly different from what their parents enjoyed when it comes to music, art, drama and
field trips.
For a variety of reasons, funds available to school boards for education in California have been
devastated over the last 20 years, to levels some in the industry call the worst in U.S. history. Los Angeles Unified School District alone has reported a decrease of 50% for its arts program since 2007-08. To give kids as broad an education as possible under the circumstances, schools have
reached out to area cultural institutions to help bridge the gap.
Southern California is home to more than 11,000 arts venues, including many well-respected
museums, theaters, orchestras, dance and opera companies happy to be involved in education projects. The industry standard for arts organizations is to earmark between 3% and 10% of an
annual budget for programs both on-site and in schools.
Because of the sheer number of participating organizations and the complexity with which these
activities are administered, it's difficult to come up with the total spent across all disciplines. But
consider music programs for elementary schoolchildren: Some of Southern California's big players (Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Opera, Pacific Symphony, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Music Center) together account for an investment of more than $13 million each
year for programs that send teaching artists to schools, arrange for kids to hear the pros in their
home venues and work with teachers to develop cross-curriculum music learning.
"In years past we could supplement [school programs] with inspiration and be the icing on the cake," said Pamela Blaine, the vice president of education and community engagement with the Pacific Symphony, who has been involved with education programs for 25 years.
"These days education programs ... are also critical to our own survival. We used to choose
the content and say this is what's good for you and do you want to come and hear the
concerts. Now it's a two-way street. We adjusted everything to make sure we support the curriculum teachers are delivering."
The L.A. Phil is making inroads with its 6-year-old Youth Orchestra L.A., modeled on
Venezuela's musical program El Sistema, which produced conductor Gustavo Dudamel.
The orchestra's stated mission is that it views education programs as part of its obligation as a
community member. The L.A. Phil has been doing residencies at schools since 2000. Now 16
schools are involved in YOLA neighborhood projects and the YOLA orchestra draws from 200
schools in East Rampart, South L.A. and, soon, East L.A.
At L.A. Opera Stacy Brightman oversees 25 education programs and works with "literally a couple hundred community partners" in her capacity as director of community and education
programs.
"We want kids to know that it's their opera house," she said. "They make the best audiences. The
story, the songs, the magic and all the crazy things that happen. Kids laugh louder, they gasp louder. Opera makes total sense to them."
It is this kind of engagement that music educators hope will help teachers and school boards see
the value in building up their music programs.
The Pacific Symphony's Blaine has a similar outlook, "Arts organizations have some
stature in the community where we should be having conversations with school boards about how they allocate their money. It's a very small pie, but it feels like we're moving in the right direction.
In the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest in the country, it seems the pie
might be getting a little bigger. The district announced in mid-July that it is ready to implement a
new five-year Arts Education and Creative Cultural Network Plan, which will increase community partnerships and aim to provide arts education to every student.
In a statement to ArtsforLA.org, LAUSD Supt. John Deasy said, "This innovative arts plan ...
does not restrict learning in the arts to only one carved out block of time every day or every
week.
"Students will have the opportunity to express themselves creatively during their studies of mathematics, the sciences, history & the social sciences, and language arts — both English &
world languages. The arts plan is an integral part of a carefully crafted District plan to provide
the very best possible education to all of our students in LAUSD. I see it as their right."

Metalphor Restoration
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Arts Commission approve the allocation of funds to restore the sculpture,
Metalphor.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The cost of restoration is quoted at $11,750. Restoration and repair of the statue will be expensed from the
Professional and Technical Services budget line (Account No. 01060603-811008).
DISCUSSION:
In 1986, Warren Hancock, a Newport Beach art collector, donated the sculpture Metalphor to the City of
Newport Beach.
Created by Bret Price, Metalphor was originally placed outside the Newport Beach City Hall for part of 1986
and 1987, until it was moved to the front of the Newport Center Library. When the Newport Center Library
closed in 1994, the City relocated Metalphor to a grassy area beneath a bluff on the east side of the
intersection of Superior Avenue and West Coast Highway.
The royal blue painted steel abstract work, which weighs 1,400 pounds and is 8½ feet tall, was the centerpiece
of the 22nd annual Newport Beach City Art Festival in 1986. Intense heating of the metal to make it malleable
created its curvilinear form. The steel was repeatedly bent and rolled during this period of elasticity to give it
"a sense of softness (and an) illusion of flexibility," sculptor Price explained.
The piece requires major restoration work. Metalphor has endured great deal of exposure to the elements.
The original paint has faded and there are signs of corrosion. There are patches of discoloration and
oxidization.
Bret Price submitted the following quote for the restoration work:
Pickup and Delivery $500.00
Metal Stripping, burning off old powder coat $1,200.00
Sandblasting, Metal Spraying $1,100.00
Crane rental, de-install and install $1,200.00
Painting (primer, color coat, abrasives, etc.) $700.00
Shop time, 50 hrs. @ $125/hr. $6,250.00
Painter $800.00
TOTAL: $11,750.00
2 of 2
Mr. Price has a vested interest in protecting the piece against any intentional or unintentional alteration or
destruction, thus preserving the integrity of his work and returning the piece to its original state. Mr. Price
also has the technical knowledge, facility, and equipment to restore the piece.
Pending City Arts Commission approval, staff will work with the City Attorney’s office to contract Mr. Price.
